Runner Bean 'White Lady' is a lovely runner bean with pure white prolific flowers which taste deliciously beany. I grow this as much for the flowers to add to salads, rice and couscous as I do for the bean.

Plant 2 or 3 of each of our runner bean varieties, alternating down the row to give you stripes of colour from their bright flowers and plant with Sweet Peas too to attract the pollinators and increase productivity.

Spacing

Space seed or plants 15cm (6in) apart, in double rows 60cm (24in) apart. Sow extra seeds at the end of the row for use as transplants.

Sowing, Seeds, Planting

Sow from April under cover. Once the plants are at least 5cm tall, plant them out. You can also sow direct into the garden in May-July (not before as they will be killed by the frost). Get your frame in place before you plant.

Care Tips

Support with a cane wigwam, with one plant growing up each cane. Protect from slugs.

Storing

These freeze well.

Harvesting

July - October. Crop in 14-16 weeks. Best picked little and often. Will continue producing until the first frosts.

Cooking Notes

These are delightful eaten very small. Prepare by removing the sides with a sharp knife and cut across in 2cm strips and cooked. Enjoy the edible flowers in salads or as a garnish.
